To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known. that I, EDNA J. ADAMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia., in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new` and useful Improvements in Confectionery- Ilolders, oli' which the following is a specification.

rl `he invention relates to individual holders or receptacles for confectionery or the like, wherein provision is made for the conveiiient removal of the articles of confectionery without liability of niarring their shape or iorin as ori inally molded.

The main object o the present invention is the provision of a holder of flexible metal havingsullcient rigidity to maintain the inclosed article in its original molded form, the character ot the metal being such as to pei-mil it to be readily stri pcd from the article without alice( ing` the iorm ot the latter, thereby enabling the article to be entirely removed lroiii the holder without breakage.

'llic invention will be described in the following specification, reference being had particularly to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan of my improved holder, Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the Same.

Referring particularly to the drawings, my improved holder comprises a cup-shaped receptacle l including a plain base 2 and a flaring edge wall V3. The wall 3 is preferably formed with a series of transversely arranged convolutions 1i, extending throughout the height of the wall and of suilicient lsize to impart a llnted appearance to the article molded in the holder.

The material of the holder forms an important part of the present invention, being preferably of a metallic nature having Sullicicnt rigidity to support the article in molded forni, and yet oi such flexible nature as to permit it to be readily stripped or bent away from the article without in any Way all'cctng thc material of the article.

'.lhc holderl is primarily designed for use with those articles ol. confectionery having a more or less solid envelop, as of chocolate or the like and a liquid or semi-li nid filler, as ol cream or the like. l'n hand ing these articles ol confectionery for sale it is particularl y desirable that a holder be virovided by which the article as a Whole may lie safely The holder possesses handled, the holder being so constructed that it may be stripped or readily removed from the article without danger of: breaking the inclosing envelop of the article and permitting 'the escape of the liquid or semi-liquid filling.

The improved holder described is particularly adapted for this pur ose, owing primarily to the flexible or readi y bendable Wall 3. sullicientwiffidity to permit the formation of the articlendirectly in `t-he holder, for example by covering the base and Wall of the holder with a suilicient i quantity of the envelop mixture, as chocolate, which after initial setting presents a hollow body which may be used to contain the filling. The upper layer or top of the article may then be applied, and the article thus completed.

T he convol'utions or fluting oi the wall- 3 of the holder is important in certain classes ot' the holder, in that it permits a stripping of the holder from the article wit rout breaking the Wall, the stri ping operation serving to straightenout t e convolutions and thereby so increase the normal length of the wall as will permit the ready removal of the article without destroyin the holder. This permits a reniolding of t e holder and its convenient reuse.

It is to be understood, of course, that the holders are designed to be sold with the coni'ection, providing a convenient protector tor the latter under all conditions.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is

A holder for an article of confection coinprisin a cup-shaped rece itacle including a wall ormed throughout its length with4 a series of convolutions extendin transverse the len th of the wall, said Wal being of a materia i to ermit it to be stripped troni the article in w iole or in part and to remain Vin such stripped condition, the convolutions serving in such stripping operation tx) permit an increase in the longitudinal dimension of the wall over suoli normal dimension.

In testinioii f whereof l ailix. m sifriiatiire i n A u in presence o two witnesses.
